And yet Phillipa is suspended in disbelief. She looks at the boy before her. He had not been given a chance to wash the oxidized blood from his mouth and she can see the black ring of it around his lips.

And yet she still can’t believe it.

“Tell me what happened, Mister Hall.” Her voice is quiet. Her voice is steel.

He had one job when everything went public last month -- and that was to deny it. Pretend it didn't happen. It's a lie. Simple as that.

"I'm sure she's already told you everything," he says. It doesn't matter that he was minding his own business and she's the one who provoked him. There's nothing that he can say that will make this any better, and he knows it.

"What do you want me to say?" Scott barks. The look she gives him cuts deep, but he doesn't show it aside from an uneasy shifting in his seat. He covers it by sitting up straight at the edge of his seat. Gaze hard. He points toward the exit. "She came to me. She put the writing on the wall, and she would've done the same to the others!" he says. He knows this doesn't help his case, that it only makes this sound vengeful.

He lits his arm drop at his side. Nothing will help his case. He can see it in her eyes. So really, it doesn't matter.

Her expression barely changes as he barks back. Phillipa’s weathered worse, worse than scared boys with only teeth to bare.

“She came to me."

Her temper flares despite herself, because she remembers this conversation back in December —

“And you should have came to me, Scott,” her reply cracks like a bullwhip. “Again, you would not be sitting here, and another student would not be in the infirmary, if you had just came to me.” She stands, robes dragging at her shoulders.

“Do you understand, you have endangered all of your fellow students who are werewolves with your recklessness, Scott.” Phillipa forces the calm back in her voice, not a quiver out of her control. “

Scott tenses when she snaps back at him, biting down on his tongue to keep from barking a retort. There are a lot of things he should have done. He wants to argue that he would've come straight to her if Max would've just shut up and let him go, but he knows that's not the truth.

He doesn't have the sense to be ashamed of what he's done until Pippa brings up the others. Immediately, Scott's eyes dart to the side, finding anything but her to look at. A trinket on her shelf catches his eye and he stares, stares--

"No one here knows who they are," Scott says, though he seems to be convincing himself more than her. "At least now they don't have to worry about her running her mouth about anyone else,"

His gaze darts away. Phillipa studies the boy’s face, set in rigid stone, refusing to budge.

Her jaw twitches, teeth gritting.

“Mister Hall, I suggest you drop the attitude.” Her tone hardens.

“You’ve deliberately harmed a student,” she says. Perhaps there’s a trickle of desperation in her voice. As if she knows something he doesn’t seem to understand at the moment. “Not only that, you deliberately bit a student, knowing the consequences.”

"I believe all of my students deserve second chances. And you have just used up yours, Mister Hall. Under no circumstance can I allow this kind of violence to go unpunished at Hogwarts."

A piece of paper floats over. Phillipa picks up a quill.

"You will be suspended while the school board deliberates your possible expulsion," She looks down at the boy, her seemingly boundless goodwill long gone.

"I will arrange to have a carriage pick you up this evening, and the train return you to London."

Finally, she looks down, signs the document that had appeared on the parchment.

Scott doesn't speak. His knee starts to bounce and he leans an elbow onto it, pressing all of his weight against it to stop it. Hands clasp together in front of him, eyes drop to the ground.

He's expecting everything she tells him, but it still stings. It won't be a suspension for long -- and he knows it. Phillipa is the exception when it comes to werewolf opinion, and if she's ready to pass this on to someone else, then it won't take long for them to sign the forms to have him out of Hogwarts.

He nods stiffly, jaw clenched. "Alright," he says. "S'fair,"

He looks at her at last as he stands up. "I'm sorry for disappointing you," he says -- and it's sincere. She's done more for him in the last year than his parents have. He doesn't say as much, but he doesn't have to.

He doesn't apologize for biting Max, and has no intentions of doing so. "I'll have my my things packed and waiting in the entrance hall before the carraige arrives,"
